She was preceded in death by her husband; one daughter, Rose Marie Talbot; two sisters; and four brothers.

Tiny was a member of the Armington Christian Church and American Legion Auxiliary. She was an enthusiastic volunteer at church and Hopedale Nursing Home where she especially loved playing the piano. Tiny had worked for General Telephone(GTE), and was the general manager of the first Claire's Boutique in the state of Illinois opened at Eastland Mall in 1970.

Tiny's greatest pride was in her family, especially her grandchildren. She cherished her roots, but also felt lucky to be a member of the big beautiful Brandt family. She was musically gifted with the accordion, piano, and singing.

Memorials may be made to Armington Christian Church or Armington Fire & Rescue.

Final arrangements are entrusted with Quiram-Peasley Funeral Home of Atlanta.
